Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning control method, device, air conditioner and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When an air conditioner is in dehumidification mode, if the compressor runs at a high frequency, the dehumidification capacity is strong, but the indoor temperature will drop too much, easily causing discomfort to the user. To avoid the indoor temperature dropping too quickly, the compressor can run at a low frequency to ensure that the indoor temperature does not fall too low. However, if the compressor runs at a low frequency, the indoor evaporator temperature will not be able to drop below the dew point temperature, resulting in extremely poor dehumidification.

[0003] In related technologies, a heating module is added during the cooling process to increase the temperature of the airflow after passing through the evaporator, thereby matching the temperature of the cold air entering the room with the room temperature and achieving a constant temperature dehumidification effect. However, the operation of the heating module consumes electricity, resulting in high power consumption and consequently, lower actual energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0008] Determine the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity, wherein the second indoor humidity is the indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is turned on;

[0009] The opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner is controlled based on at least one of the temperature difference and the humidity difference.

[0029] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0030] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an air conditioning control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and storage medium according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] This disclosure illustrates an example where the air conditioning control method is configured in an air conditioning control device. This air conditioning control device can be applied to any air conditioner to enable the air conditioner to perform air conditioning control functions. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning control method may include the following steps:

[0033] Step 101: After the air conditioner turns on the dehumidification mode, obtain the current first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity.

[0034] The indoor temperature refers to the temperature inside the room where the air conditioner is located, and the first indoor temperature is the currently collected indoor temperature. In some embodiments, the indoor temperature can be collected through a temperature sensor at the air conditioner's air inlet.

[0035] The indoor humidity refers to the humidity in the room where the air conditioner is located, and the first indoor humidity is the currently collected indoor humidity. In some embodiments, the indoor humidity can be collected by a humidity sensor at the air conditioner's air inlet.

[0036] In some embodiments, the current first indoor temperature and first indoor humidity can be obtained after the air conditioner has been in dehumidification mode for a first period of time. When the dehumidification mode is first turned on, since the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature and the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity are small, there is no need to adjust the opening of the baffle, thereby reducing the amount of data calculation.

[0037] For example, the first duration can be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity may be acquired at a certain frequency. For example, the first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity may be acquired every 5 minutes.

[0039] Step 102: Determine the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature, wherein the second indoor temperature is the indoor temperature when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0040] The second indoor temperature can be the indoor temperature collected by the temperature sensor at the air inlet of the air conditioner when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0041] Step 103: Determine the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity, wherein the second indoor humidity is the indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0042] The second indoor humidity level can be the indoor humidity collected by the humidity sensor at the air inlet of the air conditioner when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0043] Step 104: Control the opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be a first opening degree.

[0045] The first temperature threshold can be 3 degrees Celsius (°C), 4°C, 5°C, etc. This disclosure does not limit it.

[0046] The first opening can be 10 degrees, 30 degrees, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0047] It should be noted that if the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the dehumidification process cools down too quickly, delivering too much cold air to the room, which may cause discomfort to the user. Therefore, the opening of the deflector can be controlled to a smaller degree to reduce the amount of cold air delivered to the room, preventing the indoor temperature from becoming too low. Moreover, the excess cold air will circulate around the air conditioner and will be drawn into the air intake, thereby lowering the indoor evaporator temperature and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0048] In some embodiments, if the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold and less than a first temperature threshold, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the second opening degree.

[0049] The second opening is greater than the first opening. For example, if the first opening is 30 degrees, then the second opening can be 50 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0050] The second temperature threshold is less than the first temperature threshold. For example, if the first temperature threshold is 5℃, the second temperature threshold can be 2℃, 3℃, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0051] It should be noted that if the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold but less than the first temperature threshold, it means that the dehumidification process cools down slightly faster and delivers more cooling capacity to the room. In order to prevent the indoor temperature from dropping further, the opening of the deflector can be adjusted to the second opening to appropriately reduce the amount of cooling capacity delivered to the room.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the humidity difference is less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold, and less than a first temperature threshold, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle is controlled to a second opening degree, wherein the second opening degree is greater than the first opening degree. Therefore, when the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold and less than the first temperature threshold, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle can be further controlled more accurately by combining the temperature difference, thereby more accurately controlling the amount of cooling energy delivered to the room and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0053] It should be noted that if the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the dehumidification process cools the room relatively quickly. To prevent the room temperature from continuously decreasing, the air conditioner will reduce the compressor's operating frequency, resulting in poor dehumidification capacity. Therefore, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle can be controlled to the second opening degree to appropriately reduce the amount of cooling delivered to the room, preventing the indoor temperature from continuously decreasing. Excess cooling can circulate around the air conditioner and then be drawn into the air inlet, thereby reducing the indoor evaporator temperature and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0054] The humidity threshold can be 10%, 5%, 20%, etc., and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0055] In some embodiments, the humidity threshold can also be determined based on the duration of the dehumidification mode. The longer the dehumidification mode is operated, the higher the humidity threshold.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the humidity difference is greater than or less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold and less than a first temperature threshold, or when the temperature threshold is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle is controlled to a third opening degree, wherein the third opening degree is greater than the second opening degree.

[0057] The third opening can be the maximum opening of the air outlet baffle.

[0058] It should be noted that when the humidity difference is greater than or less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold but less than the first temperature threshold, or the temperature threshold is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the air conditioner is in normal cooling and dehumidification mode. Therefore, the opening of the air outlet baffle can be adjusted to the maximum opening to ensure the cooling and dehumidification effect of the air conditioner.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner activates the dehumidification mode, the current first indoor temperature and first indoor humidity are first obtained. The temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature when the dehumidification mode is activated, and the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is activated, are then determined. Finally, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner is controlled based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference. Therefore, the opening degree of the air outlet baffle can be adjusted according to the changes in indoor temperature and humidity when the air conditioner is in dehumidification mode, controlling the amount of cooling energy delivered to the room, thereby achieving a constant temperature dehumidification effect.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning control method may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 201: After the air conditioner turns on the dehumidification mode, obtain the current first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity.

[0062] Step 202: Determine the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature, wherein the second indoor temperature is the indoor temperature when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0063] Step 203: Determine the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity, wherein the second indoor humidity is the indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0064] Step 204: Control the opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0065] The specific implementation of steps 201 to 204 can be found in the detailed descriptions of other embodiments in this disclosure, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] Step 205: Control the opening direction of the air outlet baffle based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0067] In some embodiments, if the temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold, the opening direction of the air outlet baffle can be controlled to face the air inlet.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the humidity difference is less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold, and less than a first temperature threshold, the opening direction of the air outlet baffle can be controlled to face the air inlet.

[0069] The opening direction, which is the direction towards the air inlet, can be understood as the smaller the angle between the opening direction of the air outlet baffle and the direction of the air inlet, the better.

[0070] It should be noted that if the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, or the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, and the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold but less than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that too much cooling energy is being delivered to the room during dehumidification, resulting in poor dehumidification. Therefore, directing the air outlet baffle towards the air inlet allows the air conditioner to better draw in excess cooling energy through the air inlet. This not only reduces the amount of cooling energy delivered to the room but also lowers the temperature of the indoor evaporator, thereby improving dehumidification capacity.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the humidity difference is greater than or less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold and less than a first temperature threshold, or when the temperature threshold is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the opening direction of the air outlet baffle is controlled so that it does not face the air inlet. This prevents excessive cold energy from being drawn in by the air conditioner, thus reducing the amount of cold energy delivered to the room and consequently increasing the indoor temperature.

[0072] Figure 3A This is a right view of an air conditioner provided according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3A As shown, the air outlet is located in the lower left corner of the right view, and the air inlet is located at the top of the air conditioner. The air outlet baffle is open to the third degree, and the opening direction is not towards the air inlet.

[0073] Figure 3B A right view of another air conditioner provided according to an embodiment of this disclosure. (See image below.) Figure 3BAs shown, the air outlet is located in the lower left corner of the right view, and the air inlet is located at the top of the air conditioner. The air outlet baffle is at its first opening degree, and the opening direction is towards the air inlet. Therefore, as much of the cool air output from the air outlet as possible can enter the air conditioner through the air inlet.

[0074] In this embodiment of the disclosure, in addition to adjusting the opening degree of the air outlet baffle, the opening direction of the air outlet baffle can also be controlled according to at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference. This allows the excess cooling capacity to be released towards the air inlet when the air conditioner delivers too much cooling capacity to the room. This enables the air conditioner to draw in as much cooling capacity as possible through the air inlet, thereby reducing the amount of cooling capacity delivered to the room and lowering the temperature of the indoor evaporator without increasing the compressor's operating frequency, thus improving dehumidification capacity and increasing the air conditioner's energy efficiency.

[0075] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioning control method may include the following steps:

[0076] Step 401: After the air conditioner turns on the dehumidification mode, obtain the current first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity.

[0077] Step 402: Determine the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature, wherein the second indoor temperature is the indoor temperature when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0078] Step 403: Determine the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity, wherein the second indoor humidity is the indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0079] Step 404: Control the opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0080] The specific implementation of steps 401 to 404 can be found in the detailed descriptions of other embodiments in this disclosure, and will not be repeated here.

[0081] Step 405: Control the width of the air outlet baffle based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0082] In some embodiments, if the width of the air outlet baffle has at least three adjustable positions, then when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the first width.

[0083] The first width can be the maximum width of the air outlet baffle.

[0084] It should be noted that a temperature difference greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold indicates that the dehumidification process cools the room too quickly, resulting in excessive cooling. Therefore, while reducing the opening of the baffle, the width of the baffle can be increased to further reduce the amount of cooling delivered to the room and prevent the indoor temperature from becoming too low. Furthermore, as much cooling as possible can circulate around the air conditioner, allowing it to draw in as much cooling as possible from the air inlet, thus better reducing the indoor evaporator temperature and improving dehumidification efficiency.

[0085] In some embodiments, if the width of the air outlet baffle has at least three adjustment positions, then when the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the second width, wherein the second width is less than the first width.

[0086] It should be noted that if the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, it indicates that the dehumidification process cools the room relatively quickly. To prevent the room temperature from continuously decreasing, the air conditioner will reduce the compressor's operating frequency, resulting in poor dehumidification capacity. Therefore, while controlling the opening degree of the air deflector to the second opening degree, the width of the air deflector can also be controlled to the second width. This reduces the amount of cooling air delivered to the room, allowing excess cooling air to circulate around the air conditioner and be drawn in through the air inlet, thus better reducing the indoor evaporator temperature and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0087] In some embodiments, if the width of the air outlet baffle has at least three adjustment positions, then when the humidity difference is greater than or less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold and less than the first temperature threshold, or when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be a third width, wherein the third width is less than the second width.

[0088] The third width can be the minimum width of the air outlet baffle.

[0089] In some embodiments, if the width of the air outlet baffle has two adjustment settings, then when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, or when the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the fourth width; when the humidity difference is greater than or less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, or when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the fifth width, wherein the fifth width is less than the fourth width.

[0090] In this embodiment, in addition to adjusting the opening of the air outlet baffle, the width of the air outlet baffle can also be controlled according to at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference. This can further reduce the amount of cooling released into the room when the air conditioner delivers too much cooling, allowing the air conditioner to draw in as much cooling air as possible through the air inlet. This not only reduces the amount of cooling delivered into the room, but also lowers the temperature of the indoor evaporator without increasing the compressor's operating frequency, thereby improving dehumidification capacity and increasing the air conditioner's energy efficiency.

[0091] Figure 5 This is a schematic flowchart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning control method may include the following steps:

[0092] Step 501: After the air conditioner turns on the dehumidification mode, obtain the current first indoor temperature and the first indoor humidity.

[0093] Step 502: Determine the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the first indoor temperature, wherein the second indoor temperature is the indoor temperature when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0094] Step 503: Determine the humidity difference between the first indoor humidity and the second indoor humidity, wherein the second indoor humidity is the indoor humidity when the dehumidification mode is turned on.

[0095] Step 504: Control the opening degree of the air outlet baffle of the air conditioner based on at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0096] The specific implementation of steps 501 to 504 can be found in the detailed descriptions of other embodiments in this disclosure, and will not be repeated here.

[0097] Step 505: When an air inlet and an air inlet baffle are provided on the side of the air conditioner, the air inlet baffle is controlled according to at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.

[0098] Figure 6 This is a side view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner's air outlet is in the lower left corner of the image, and the air inlet is at the top. Small holes, the air inlets, are located on the side of the air conditioner. Some of the cool air released from the outlet can enter the air conditioner through the air inlet.

[0099] In some embodiments, the air inlet on the side of the air conditioner is provided with an air inlet baffle. In some embodiments, the air inlet baffle on the side of the air conditioner can be opened by direct drive of a motor to flip it outward, or the air inlet baffle can be slid up and down by a gear and rack.

[0100] In some embodiments, if the opening of the air inlet baffle has at least three adjustment positions, the opening of the air inlet baffle is controlled to a fourth opening when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold; or, the opening of the air inlet baffle is controlled to a fifth opening when the humidity difference is less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold, and less than a first temperature threshold, wherein the fifth opening is less than the fourth opening. Therefore, the air inlet baffle on the side of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the temperature and humidity differences. This allows for the adjustment of the opening of the air inlet baffle on the side of the air conditioner to direct excess cooling energy into the room, further reducing the amount of cooling energy delivered to the room. It also lowers the temperature of the indoor evaporator without increasing the compressor's operating frequency, thereby improving dehumidification capacity and increasing the air conditioner's energy efficiency.

[0101] In some embodiments, the air inlet baffle is controlled to close when the humidity difference is greater than or less than a humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than a second temperature threshold and less than a first temperature threshold, or when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold. Therefore, when the air conditioner is in normal cooling and dehumidification mode, closing the air inlet baffle prevents cold air from passing through the air inlet for air conditioning, thus avoiding insufficient indoor cooling and increased indoor temperature.

[0102] In some embodiments, if the opening of the air inlet baffle has two adjustment positions (open and closed), the air inlet baffle is controlled to open when the temperature difference is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, or when the humidity difference is less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold; the air inlet baffle is controlled to close when the humidity difference is greater than or less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold, and less than the first temperature threshold, or when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold.

[0103] In this embodiment, the air conditioner has an air inlet and an air inlet baffle on its side. In addition to adjusting the opening of the air outlet baffle, the opening of the air inlet baffle can also be controlled according to at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference. This allows the air inlet on the side of the air conditioner to be opened when too much cooling capacity is delivered to the room, increasing the area of ​​the air inlet and enabling the air conditioner to draw in as much cooling air as possible. This not only further reduces the amount of cooling capacity delivered to the room but also lowers the temperature of the indoor evaporator, improves dehumidification capacity, and enhances the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0104] To achieve the above embodiments, this disclosure also proposes an air conditioning control device.

[0125] When the humidity difference is greater than or less than the humidity threshold, the temperature difference is greater than the second temperature threshold and less than the first temperature threshold, or when the temperature difference is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the width of the air outlet baffle is controlled to be the third width, wherein the third width is greater than the second width.

[0126] In some embodiments, the control module 704 is configured to:

[0127] When an air inlet and an air inlet baffle are provided on the side of the air conditioner, the air inlet baffle is controlled according to at least one of the temperature difference and humidity difference.
